Santa brought me

A new computer chair.
£100 down to £65 in the sales
The one I was looking at was reduced by £300 to £598, I didn't look for long!
Then I tried a cheap one and it didn't fit my leg length.
Meanwhile Angie is trying another one and says "this is really comfortable".
She hardly got that sentence out before I was in the seat and trying it

Oh, thats a good idea! I am sitting in a frankenstein like contraption that has it various parts held together by clips and tie straps as i have always been reluctant to spend my money on a chair. I have to slouch in it to get comfortable as it won't take the pressure of leaning back in it. . .
Pictures please, i would like some ideas

All the ladies in the office at my son's school sit on exercise balls. They said it is fantastic!

Balls? Not if you want to nod off in the chair like me

I just got a pair of MBTs on sale today, I have a hard time standing right now; keep falling over as I lose my balance when my feet aren't stable.
Wonder why I spent more that I have in total on shoes since we were married on just one pair? And they were on sale too

I "borrowed" a pair of Angie's MBT trainers last time we were at PMA in Vegas. Took a few days to get used to them, and for a while I had trouble taking photos because I wasn't balancing on them like I should, everything was in motion!
But they did make a difference, until she took them back

A camera endoscope.
Not high quality, 648x480 native resolution and probably a plastic lens - like the cheap USB microscopes.
Water resistant, but not waterproof.

Should be good enough for investigating the inside of the cylinders of the dead engine to see if it's rings, or valves that need replacing. 14mm diameter means it'll go in a spark plug hole.
